Overview
I decide to make a fix version of How to reduce scope sway, because I don’t want that new players do something bad, because of a mistake in an other guide. The creator just erase my comment (he will do the same thing with you if you dont agree with him), he don’t want to communicate, he simply block me.
What changes the Scope sway :
There is no badge in the game that affects scope sway, so don’t think that any badge will help you.
Their is no equipement that reduce sway of a weapon. Sway is unique to each weapon. Stability reduce the recoil that mean when you are shooting with a weapon it have no effect on sway(Heroes and General official website wiki).
How to have good stability :
Crouching and proning. Yes, this is obvious but if you’re standing up you’re not going to hit anything.
Sprinting, if your sprint meter is below 100% you will have bad scope sway. It is reccomended to walk as soon as you get to the battle or when you want to shoot.
What badges you should use :
The hoarder is extremely useful only if you want to equip 3 items on recon. by giving you a couple of extra clips you can have a secondary weapon with ammo for just 1 equipment slot. You can combine this with other items you’d like.
You shouldn’t take grenades as recon since you have much better options.
Pointer quick fire should not be use unleast you play with a machine pistol that I dont recommand you are a recon not an infantry.
Quickdraw only makes your hipfire to recover easier when you’re turning around. It is very situational so don’t ever use it even if you’re not a sniper.
Tight grip handles recoil from machineguns. only good for when you have a machinegun though.
Deadeye is one of the best badges you can use for recon. It pretty much lets you scope quicker after shooting.
Grenadier lets you deal more damage with explosives against armor, you shouldn’t equip this unless you’re using anti-tank explosives.
Scavenger lets you pickup ammo from guns on the ground. You’re recon not infantry, you shouldn’t use this badge since you’re not in the frontline or killing soldier from short ranges.
Ghillie is a good badge if it is gold because you can’t be spot for all the enemy team only for the one that have spot you.
Camouflaged is a great badge cause it remove the kill cam so you can stay at the same place without been attack by the people you just kill.
Dynamite lover and infantry fist are badges that you shouldn’t equip on your recon soldier.
Fast reload is useful but only if your badge is at silver or gold. While it comes handy there are better options.
My suggestion :
I fully suggest to go for the one shot upgrade. Because if your at very long distance you will not 1 shot it will take 2 shot so if you don’t have the one shot upgrade it can take 3 shot.
Scopes affect the sway(for balance reason), the higher the zoom, the higher the scope sway is. Having a small zoom scope (like x2.2) can reduce the scope sway a lot but you will not zoom a lot. Using binoculars will let you see the targets and the rifle will only be needed to shoot the target, you can use binoculars as a great scope instead of the one in your rifle(to save some credit).
